Patriots "Deflate-gate"
Literally, why did the Patriots have to deflate 11 out of the 12 game balls? Seriously. I definitely think that Belichick could've said more, and he definitely knew way more than he said. And I think it was cheap when he just kept saying at the end "Ive told you everything I know" And then when the reporters would ask another question he again would say "Ive told you everything I know, I have no knowledge of that." And when he said at the end "ask Tom", I thought that was totally uncoachlike, and I felt like he was just trying to get the press conference over with. I think Bill totally did NOT want to talk about the deflated balls, but I get it. Who wants to talk about if their team deflated balls? I wouldn't if I was him. I just think that Belichick didn't like the subject he had to talk about.
Second is Brady's press conference..... you could tell that he didn't like talking about the subject either. But I think he did a better job telling about it- more details, and more telling exactly what he did. I also think he did a better job answering the questions that the reporters asked. As I said, I think he did a good job telling exactly what he did. For example, he said that he picks out the amount of balls he thinks is good, and then gives them to the ball boys, and after that, never touches them again until plays are in action.
But what I also think is not good is that the refs handle the balls EVERY SINGLE PLAY and they only noticed it once. They didn't even take any time to push their hands into the ball to see if it had any air.
Scientists were saying also that if you leave a ball/balls in a warm room, and then take them out into the cold, the pressure can drop, and the balls can deflate a little bit. So, you never know, it might not have been anyone, it could just be that.
And what I think they should do is they should interview every player that was on the field that game and ask them the questions that they asked Brady and Belichick. The Patriots might lose a draft pick for next year, or they might get fined. WELL, GO PATRIOTS!!!!😃
